Assessment |
Description | Qualification | ||
Assignments | • A search work to be carried out in small groups of students, tutored by the professor. This includes the translation of a scientific article and the creation of a summary of it presented in written form. • Knowledge and understanding of the subject |
15 | |
Laboratory practicals | • Practical work in laboratory • Continuous-formative evaluation: With the objective of assessing and guiding the process of acquiring skills throughout the semester. Different techniques will be used such as problem and case resolution; carrying out individual and/or group work; presentation of reports on work, laboratory practices. • The work will analyze: -Structure -Documentation quality -Originality -Spelling and presentation |
7.5 | |
Problem solving, classroom exercises | • Delivery of problems and other work related to practical cases that require the development of complex calculations associated with the topics studied in the master sessions. • These works will be done individually and will be supervised by the teacher. The student's attention and ability to analyze will be valued in the work. The ability to reason. |
7.5 | |
Mixed tests | • A written exam with questions that require a complete development of the topics to be evaluated. • The exam will assess the student's ability to solve problems. • A minimum grade of 5.0 is required in the written exam to take into account the grade of laboratory practical work and assignments in the final grade of the subject. • It is mandatory to take a practical exam for those students who have not completed the laboratory practical work. The date of this examination is prior to the date prior the final written exam. |
